Awesome..  Do you know of a manpage that describes .mailcap?  (man mailcap
and man .mailcap show nothing, apropos mailcap only shows one Perl call.)

I added:
Image/GIF; open -a Preview %s  

and that seems to work fine (I simply parrotted the one existing other line
there).  I should just try it, but maybe there are more things I can put
in the mailcap file -- e.g. Image/* might work.. Reading a description of
the proper format would be great.

(I did turn off the image viewer setting in pine to make sure my change was
actually having an effect.)

thanks.
